The Philippine National Police (PNP) Responders are out to show the global stage that Filipino policemen are as “athletic as other countries’ force” like the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department), NYPD (New York Police Department), police force from China and Vietnam, among others, a report said.

“Our sporting teams are the pride and joy of our 17,000 personnel,” Lt. Gen. Camilo Pancratius Cascolan said; noting that they have been sending teams to the annual meet for the last six years.

The report said that twelve PNP teams across nine sports are currently competing in the global sports event, headlined by the 45-and-over basketball squad, who’ve been together for the past six years and previously represented the country during the 2015 Washington and 2017 Los Angeles editions of the Games.

Aside from their organization, which is the PNP, the team has also been receiving constant support from local sporting apparel manufacturer Team Rebel Sports Pilipinas. Team Rebel has been providing the squad their uniforms.
